Boys Christmas present ideas 5&7

[catchmewhenifall]

Anyone got inspiration for presents for a seven-year-old and a five-year-old boy?

What are you getting yours? I have some stuff on their lists but if all looks like shit (TekDek whatever nonsense that is).

Of course they desperately want a Switch (so do I) but we're holding out until they're older.

Honestly get the switch. There are lots of younger games kids can play on it, plus it’s great as a family to play together too.

Yeah, I know but we'll lose them to it. The tantrums over the Minecraft laptop and the tv being turned off... I just don't want to invite strife into the house before I have to. (Saying this as someone who was addicted to my NES a million years ago!)

Ugh, husband saying get a Switch (because we want one)

May I ask you to let me know what are the games you mentioned 5 year olds could play?

For my 7 year old DC

Lego
A safe
Healy's
Swat costume
Police costume
Mario figures

My son already has a switch but I'd highly recommend them. My son plays robolox (however you spell it) police games, super Mario . Can't remember what else

5yo:
Playmobil police HQ
Marvin’s magic glow art
Botley robot
Bugs in the Kitchen game
Shark tail blanket

Lego, board games (throw throw burrito, UNO, top trumps) Magformers, annual subscription to local zoo or something. Garden toys like football nets.

i wish I’d spent more on physical items like soft play sofa, indoor climbing set etc. I know they’d still use it at 8+10.

Diary of a wimpy kid books have been great for my two from 7+

Get the switch. DS has been playing switch for a little over a year now and he just turned 5. He absolutely loves all of the Mario games and Minecraft. He also loves Lego so that’s a winner.

Ds is 5 and he has:

• Jurassic park car track
• Lego board with storage drawer
• Floor is lava game
• Treasure X minecraft ender dragon
• remote control monster truck
• minecraft annual and look inside books
• imaginext pirate ship
• nerf gun set
• lego minecraft pig house
• playmobil hospital
• playmobil helicopter
• flying sonic
• minecraft puzzle
